After the third day’s play at The Oval, Stuart Broad announced that the fifth Ashes Test will be his last, as he revealed his decision to retire from professional cricket, bringing the curtains down on a 17-year international career.
Broad, one of only two pacers to cross 600 Test wickets, along with James Anderson, also became only the third bowler with 150+ Test wickets in the Ashes during the Oval Test. He will finish his career as the fifth-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket.
